Yeah, like I said to Bill, I don't recall any mention of that.

He has to provide dates + times for that.

RS> So you havent got a SHRED of evidence that the USR/USR is better there.

BG> On my (poor) lines, USR-USR is clearly better.

RS> I think its more likely you made to few M34F/M34F calls to say much.

Still, any calls are better than nothing.  However, if what he says
is true, USR->M34F is better than M34F->M34F AND better than USR->USR
(although the last USR->USR could be just because he didn't have his
bug-fixed ROMs available at the time we were doing USR->USR testing).

Which is an interesting way of saying that USR is best for outgoing
calls, M34F is best for incoming calls.  :-)  BFN.  Paul.
